A Crazy Love

I Know | Ch. 28

Harley's P.O.V.

   I heard the gunshot, and it went silent. I sat waiting on our bed for Mistah J to come back upstairs. I heard some more mumbling downstairs, and then I heard footsteps coming up the staircase towards our room.
   The door suddenly burst open, followed by Mistah J, looking very stressed. He ran his fingers through his electric green hair still holding the gun, his teeth gritted as he breathed heavily.
   "Puddin', are you ok?" I said as I got up, moving towards him. I touched my hand to his shoulder, trying to calm him. He looked at me with fire raging in his eyes, and I quickly pulled my hand away.
   His face suddenly lost all anger, being replaced with desperation and regret. "Harley, I..." He trailed off, his mouth slightly agape.
  I saw tears quickly forming in his eyes, and he turned his back to me to hide them.
  I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my chin on his shoulder. "You don't have to hide from me. Ever."
   He turned his head towards me, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I know.. I just... don't. Know. How." He said helplessly.
   I lifted my head and moved to face him. "What do you mean?" I moved my hand to his face, wiping his tears with my thumbs.
   "I don't know how to express things. I've hidden things for so long. Deep, dark things." He took in a shaky breath, which came out in strained laughter.
   "I don't compute anything anymore." I looked at him longingly, happy he was opening up. "I just... Ahhhhh!!" He said as he sucked in a huge breath. "Ya know?!" He said frantically as he pointed the gun to his head, mocking himself pulling the trigger.
   Fear washed over me as I quickly grabbed the gun from his hands. I placed it to my forehead, cocked it, and rested my forefinger on the trigger.
   "Would you let me do it?" I said as I felt tears in my eyes. Fear flashed over his face as he saw what I was doing. "What kind of question is that?! NO." He reached for the gun and I grabbed his hand. I placed it over mine, slipping my hand away; leaving him holding the gun to my head.
   He swiftly pulled the gun away, throwing it the ground as he quickly wrapped his hands around my waist. He pulled me forward to his lips, and we crashed into a kiss.
   I felt a small smile tug at his lips as the kiss continued, and I felt tears rolling down my own cheeks. Our tears met at the bottom of our chins, combining into a mixture of sorrow and hope.
   I pulled away gently, greeted by his tear-filled eyes. "I love you" he whispered slowly. I smiled as I rested my head on his firm chest.
   "I love you too."
